Bajwa confirms ‘punishment’ to army officers

Chief of the Army Staff General Raheel Sharif had dismissed six army officers, including two generals, from service over alleged corruption, thus sparking debates whether civilian leaders would also follow suit.

The news of action against army officers came as Prime Minister NawazSharif faces pressure over revelations made in Panama Papers linking his family to a series of offshore companies.

Earlier in April, he announced the formation of a commission to investigate the allegations in the documents from Panama-based law firm — Mossack Fonseca — that have exposed how some of the world’s most powerful people secrete their assets offshore.
